EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite for an American paratrooper on the outskirts of St. Mere Eglise, Normandy, during the pivotal events of D-Day on June 6, 1944. The image, dated 17th June 1944, shows the soldier taking a brief rest on the roadside, a testament to the grueling nature of the battle that had unfolded just days prior. St. Mere Eglise was among the first towns in Normandy to be captured by the Allied forces, specifically the American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, who landed by parachute in the early hours of the morning. The successful capture of this strategic town enabled the Allies to secure a foothold in Normandy and pave the way for the larger invasion force to follow. This historical photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the bravery and determination of the American soldiers during the D-Day landings, a turning point in the Second World War.
